Well, a good week has passed. I'm about 10% of the way through the bonus on Winner Poker but sucking big hairy moose balls right now at .25/.50 LHE. Some things I have noted, at least on this site:
Players are quite nitty. 3/4 hands someone raises preflop and takes down the blinds. Then when two players get into it the pot is usually quite large, but it is hard to play a TAG style when everyone else is too. I'm going to experiment with a looser type of play, but this seems to backfire on most people who sit down and play loose.
At LHE, people will call because pot odds dictate it - which you have no control over. If the pot is already $2.50 and then there is a .25 bet players always call to the turn and most often the river because the cards are relatively cheap.
A lot of the times I'm winning small pots and losing big ones to people who outdraw me on the turn or river. This really frustrates me but obviously I just need to adjust my style of play. However, often it puts me on tilt and I start to spew. BIG leak.
I'm also dabbling in NLHE on another site with a small roll that I again, got for free - and so far I'm crushing 2NL, but for some reason it is like play money at this point so I'm playing actually much better because I'm not worried about pushing all in with $2. Just goes to show that proper BR management is really critical.
